Looks like Killing Floor 2 may be coming to Linux from Knockout Games

QuoteI had an email tip

You're welcome ;)

I would pick up a copy for sure. There have been many sales for KF2 already, but I was able to resist. Will pick up a copy as soon as it releases for Linux. Aaron is doing great porting work, so the port, if it comes, will probably be technically flawless.

+1 on that.I've been looking forward to this game for a long time. And with Aaron working on the port, I'm sure it'll be spectacular.

It isn't my style of game, but I am glad to see Aaron still doing more ports!

I already bought it in early access, when I still used Windows (I already get rid of it) for gaming. Didn't played it since I switched to Linux as a gaming OS.

I will be glad to see it on Linux, I spent many hours in KF1.

Right now, I'm playing one of Knockout Games earlier ports - Shadow Warrior (2013) - and it's playing very nicely (at 4K resolution). "Good job!"

i like to have nice quality game as Killing Floor 2 its a bit relaxing; BOSS fights zombies monsters robots etc etc.

Provided it's a decent quality port, I'd definitely pick this up. It might be a forlorn hope, as it's had a rough ride through Early Access, but if there's a hope that it grabs me like the first one did, then I'd have many hundreds of happy hours ahead of me playing this. It would fill the void that PayDay 2 left when I realised that their voice chat would never be fixed and I gave up on playing it any further (and funny to think that they're still punting DLC at their player base... sigh)

Aaron is a great porter (take note Feral). Looking forward to pick this up when it's released.

Hmm... now the Killing Floor 2 entry on Aaron's Website has been replaced by Flywrench.
Looks like Tripwire didn't like that he had this entry on his website.
I hope this didn't cause any trouble.

edit: oh, also the tweet got deleted.

Flywrench and N++ were there before, but yeah, he's deleted KF2. Might not be bad news as such, just that TW didn't want him "revealing" the possibility of a port before they're ready.

Would be a shame if they've really canned their interest in a Linux version. They spoke about Linux at length back in their 2014 announcement and they've taken a lot of heat on the forums since when they lost their sole Linux developer. To the point that you can't actually comment on threads on Steam's Killing Floor 2 pages unless you own the game. Nice way to shut up annoying Linux users from moaning about a lack of port!

Fingers crossed, but I pretty much scratched this off my wishlist last year. It would be a lovely surprise if it comes our way, but I'm not holding my breath!
